The internet seems to have gone away The smoke is gone and the mirrors are broke Looks like it’s going to be one of those days Our system is kind of a joke
It was working today for an hour or three When a student came asking for help with his work I tried to download the file (it’s free) But I couldn’t, and felt like a jerk
The network admin isn’t answering his calls He is probably tearing his hair out by now I don’t think I want to see him at all He’s probably having a cow
The people are starting to rise up in arms They’ve called for his head in a sack I don’t think they really would do him harm But I hope someone’s watching his back
The day is all sunny, the sky is quite blue A gorgeous autumn day I hope that he knows what he needs to do And gets it all done right away

About this poem:
Wrote this one day during yet another network outage, we'd been having a lot of them at that time, and this one lasted a while.
